AIC Seminar Series

This talk will provide an overview of SPARK (SRI Procedural Agent Realization Kit), a new procedural reasoning framework under development at the A.I. Center. SPARK is strongly influenced by PRS and shares the same Belief Desire Intention (BDI) model of rationality, however SPARK adds important capabilities absent in PRS. These include support for development of large-scale agent applications, principled representation of procedures that will enable validation and automated synthesis, and flexibility in the delivery platform, including the potential to run on PDAs and mobile platforms.
